A proposal for an Instructional Technology Center, 2004, 18 pages.
Author(s): Durdu, L.
ABSTRACT
This proposal offers a practical solution to increase the quality of education. Quality of education is affected from various factors, however the main factor is instructional. A new organization to solve performance problems of the university is proposed. The main focus of this proposal is to explain the need for an Instructional Technology Center (ITC), which tries to enhance teaching, learning and service environment through instructional technology. The requirements needed for such a development is explained. Main goals of ITC, organizational and management structure, required budget and expected performance improvements are presented in this proposal. It is concluded that such a center will increase the effective use of technology in all services within Middle East Technical University.

Token Ring: Instructional Design Model for Programming Languages, 2004, 20 pages.
Author(s): Bayram L., Durdu L.,& Ersoy H.
ABSTRACT
Token Ring instructional design model offers guidance for preparing instruction for programming languages. The Token Ring model’s main interest is in the phases of learner analysis, content analysis, lesson scenario and implementation. Learner analysis is important because it affects lesson scenario and implementation directly. Two sub implementation phases constitute the implementation phase. The first sub implementation phase is the lesson phase where the content is introduced; the second sub implementation phase is lab implementation, where students make practice of the content by solving small problems of the presented content. The implementation phase is going to be explained later in details. Moreover, Token Ring model gives emphasis on the evaluation phase a great importance because it provides data for learner analysis phase.

Unit Plan Based on Dick and Carey Design Model; Computer Applications in education: Word Processing Unit, 2004, 24 pages.
Author(s): Durdu L.,& Göktaş Y.
ABSTRACT
Learning about computer applications most of the time needs step by step instruction. This means before learning about content some prerequisite knowledge is required. Learning about computer applications can be thought as a spiral-hierarchical development. Prerequisite knowledge is also given a great emphasis in Dick and Carey Model. Dick and Carey defined instructional goals as “clear statements of behaviors that learners are to demonstrate as a result of instruction”. Working with computer applications has the advantage of seeing the outcome of the process immediately. Therefore, seeing the outcome of the process (immediately or later!) is important whether learner accomplished or not. By this, the instructors also have the opportunity of seeing whether a prerequisite objective is accomplished to pass the next objective.

Learning Organization, 2004, 13 pages.
Author(s): Durdu L.
ABSTRACT
Organizational culture, organizational learning, knowledge and knowledge management are critical factors for an organization’s success. Davenport and Prusak stated that knowing about knowledge is critical to business success- and possibly to business survival. To have knowledge, it must be learned, and new knowledge should be produced. Technology takes a great role in all knowledge processes that form knowledge management. However, knowledge management is much more than technology, but technology is a part of knowledge management. What type of technology an organization need depends on the needs, requirements of the organization.

Instructional Technology Plan: Components for successful implementation, 2004, 7 pages.
Author(s): Durdu L.
ABSTRACT
Living in today’s challenging world requires planned actions in every area of lives. Individuals, organizations and governments need to make and implement their plans by analyzing their current positions and future expectations. Bates (2000) uses the term strategic planning and says “strategic planning is a relatively well-known and standardized approach to management” (p.46). In concept level, instructional technology plan doesn’t differ from plan. The main aim of instructional technology plan (IT plan) is to increase the quality in education that is the continual goal of any educational organization. Therefore, it is important to focus on investigating the components of instructional technology plan. In this paper, some components are stressed and explained in detail because it is believed that these components are fundamental for a successful implementation of technology plan. Some components are added and given rationale for their presence, some are described superficially. In order to speak on a common standard, the article named as “Guidebook for developing an effective instructional technology plan” (Anderson, 1996) is taken.

Cognitive Tools in Turkish Education System: Requirements for successful integration, 2004, 8 pages.
Author(s): Durdu L.
ABSTRACT
Developing students’ critical thinking and problem solving abilities are necessary in the modern era whether with computers or not. Computers can help us in saving time, visualization, logging, and so on making the application easier. However, current pre-service education, K-12 curriculum, conditions related with school classrooms makes it difficult to integrate technology into education. Some radical changes on those issues must be taken into consideration.
